[quote="backagain"]Thank you for the great information and tips. Seems the critical mass of discontent is growing with every post-May application that is approved. While I am happy that their pain is ended, those of that have endured longer have reached our limit. The search engine in this forum is not precise. If anybody has the information readily available, can you concisely post the following for the benefit of all?
1. The link for Request Return of Documents
http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/sitec ... ent-return
2. Information on filing a complaint with UKBA, the Home Office, or specific influencer of Home Office policy and customer service.
3. Recommendations for contacting the media. With all the news about illegal persons and a botched immigration policy, some news group should be interested in a mass of legitimate people wanting to be here and contribute to the economic growth and recovery of this country. Especially if it is true that the UKBA is skipping older applications to process newer ones for the sake of fudging their numbers.
(We are requesting docs back today for my wife so she can travel for work. We did not expect to have to go past 6 month in waiting.)[/quote]
Backagain I am so with you on this. maybe try local paper first and see what happens?? I am filing a case with the ombudsman for NHS/parliament. Your MP has to action/endorse it for you. You also have to have tried to contact the UKBA complaints to resolve the case on your own first. As 20 business days have passed since my complaint, I am now asking my MP to take it further.
I appreciate that my case is not as complex/worrying as others as I am currently still able to work. However what about all the people on this forum who are restricted from working? It's truly unjust.
